This is the first scripture I ever intentionally put music to for the purpose of memorization. A friend of mine (Dane Griffin) had already done it, but I couldn't remember the melody, so I decided to give it a shot myself. Turns out I'm pretty good at it. I had actually made up a tune a few years earlier that my wife, Laurie, added some of the words of Psalm 113 to, but that was not intentional, at least not on my part. So, for what it's worth, this is where it all started, in terms of my contribution to the scripture song genre.

The song (as with all scripture songs) pretty much speaks for itself.

Remember the sabbath day,
To keep it holy.
Six days shalt thou labour,
And do all thy work:
But the seventh day is the sabbath
Of the Lord thy God:
In it thou shalt not do any work,
Thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter,
Thy manservant, nor thy maidservant,
Nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger
That is within thy gates:
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that in them is,
And rested the seventh day:
Wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day,
and hallowed it.
Exodus twenty, verses eight through eleven:
And God rested on the seventh day.
